1930 The Saloon in the Home

A NOBLE BOY

/ N OT long ago in a small town in Mass., a wretched vic– tim of habit thus accosted a lad standing at a shop door: "I say, boy, can you tell me where there's a dram-shop'?" "No," replied the youth, "I never tell anyone where to find such pl~ces." H~w much more truly noble was this, than the conduct of those fashionable "Abstainers" who, refusing the evil drink themselves, will yet furnish it to others. . Teetotaller's Handbook, i86o.
